4.1.3.D
Identify organisms that are dependent on one another in a given ecosystem.
- Define habitat and explain how a change in habitat affects an organism.
4.2.3.B
Identify plants and animals found in a wetland.
4.2.3.C
Identify plants and animals that live in lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands.
4.4.3.D

3.1.3.A1 Describe characteristics of living things that help to identify and classify them.
3.1.3.A2 Describe the basic needs of living things and their dependence on light, food, air, water, and shelter.
3.1.3.A3 Illustrate how plants and animals go through predictable life cycles that include birth, growth, development, reproduction, and death.
3.1.3.A5 Identify the structures in plants that are responsible for food production, support, water transport, reproduction, growth, and protection.
3.1.3.A9 • Distinguish between scientific fact and opinion. • Ask questions about objects, organisms, and events. • Understand that all scientific investigations involve asking and answering questions and comparing the answer with what is already known. • Plan and conduct a simple investigation and understand that different questions require different kinds of investigations. • Use simple equipment (tools and other technologies) to gather data and understand that this allows scientists to collect more information than relying only on their senses to gather information. • Use data/evidence to construct explanations and understand that scientists develop explanations based on their evidence and compare them with their current scientific knowledge. • Communicate procedures and explanations giving priority to evidence and understanding that scientists make their results public, describe their investigations so they can be reproduced, and review and ask questions about the work of other scientists.

3.1.3.C1
Recognize that plants survive through adaptations, such as stem growth towards light and root growth downward in response to gravity.
Recognize that many plants and animals can survive harsh environments because of seasonal behaviors (e.g. hibernation, migration, trees shedding leaves).
